B3.2/5.0
Scored across 48 tools
Disambiguation4/5
Most tools target a clear resource-action pair, and the high-level workflow tools are distinguished by their descriptions (silence-based cuts vs. transcript-based cuts, blueprint validation vs. audit vs. repair). A few pairs like ae_capture_frame/ae_capture_frames and ae_build_smart_edit/ae_build_youtube_edit could be momentarily confused, but their stated purposes are ultimately distinct.
Naming Consistency4/5
The tool names consistently use the ae_ prefix, snake_case, and mostly follow a verb_noun pattern such as list_compositions, create_layer, render_composition, and decide_review. Minor deviations like ae_health, ae_reconnect, ae_search, and ae_run_jsx break the strict pattern but do not create significant confusion.
Tool Count2/5
With 48 tools, this server is well past the 25+ threshold for a heavy tool count. The breadth is understandable given the mix of low-level AE operations, editorial planning, review workflows, and Blender integration, but the aggregate surface creates real agent selection overhead and would benefit from modular splitting.
Completeness4/5
The server covers the main After Effects lifecycle well: compositions, layers, effects, keyframes, expressions, rendering, reviews, and high-level motion/editorial workflows. Minor gaps exist, such as no direct tool for updating text layer content, renaming/deleting compositions, or reordering effects, but the ae_run_jsx escape hatch mitigates these.
